was out mending his fence when he felt a tug on his leg. He looked down to see a small boy who asked, "Sir, can I buy one of your puppies?" The farmer replied, "Well now son, those puppiies are a might expensive, you see, they come from a long line of dogs." The lad reached deep in his pocket and held up .39 cents, "Will this at least buy me a look?" "Why sure son." and the farmer called out "Dolly!" and almost immediately a dog came running towards the farmer followed by 4 balls of fur. The youngun noticed another commotion beside the dog house, which struggled to run, but managed to work his way towards the farmer, limping and falling. "I want that one!" the boy replied excitedly. "No son, you don't want that pup, you see he ain't right, when you grow up, he won't be able to run and play like the other dogs." The boy rolled up his pant leg to reveal a steel brace and a special shoe. The boy told the farmer, "But you see sir, he needs someone who understands."
